Chad Arimura is a seasoned technology leader and repeat founder with 14 years of professional experience building cloud-native platforms and developer-facing services from San Francisco. He co-founded multiple companies (including Iron.io and AllDorm) and led Iron.io as CEO through acquisition, then built and led Oracle’s serverless team around the open-source Fn Project before moving to Java Platform developer relations. Hands-on as well as strategic, Chad contributes to core serverless tooling—work on fnproject/fn shows he still dives into back-end and DevOps details like CLI, init flows, language helpers and release processes. He blends product, engineering and GTM experience across startups and enterprise sales, and is comfortable toggling between code-level fixes and executive leadership. An early entrepreneur since his Santa Clara dorm days, he’s known for turning infrastructure ideas into developer-facing products adopted by thousands of companies.
